File GEDV0020.MOV is missing

I have imported some clips from my GE DVX HD camera into iPhoto but when I import them into iMovie I get the message that the file GEDV0020.MOV is missing and the movie won't lay correctly without it. I can either cancel the import or search for the file but either choice freezes the iMovie program and the computer and I have to do a force shutdown to get the computer working properly. When I import the clips directly from the camera to iMovie everything seems to work fine.

The rootpre.sh script cannot find the pw-syscall file in the current directory.
pw-syscall is the post-wait extension for AIX.
You have to run the rootpre.sh in the current directory.
First try this:
cp -r /cdrom/rootpre /tmp/rootpre
cd /tmp/rootpre
./rootpre.sh
If this does not work check your packages in AIX.
As last resort, use patch 2896876
From metalink note 309331.1
Hope this helps.

Files in MOV-Container missing, although MOV is self-containing

Hello everybody,
I've got a strange problem here. We are capturing MPEG4-Files with a camera and cutting those files with quicktime pro (so that we don't have do re-encode those files in order to gain time). The files consist of a few MPEG4-Movie-Sequences (that are copy/pasted from the original files) and a small Signation-MPEG4 from the harddisk. Then the files are saved as self-contained quicktime-files and transfered to another computer.
But a few files will not contain the signation, although the moviefiles from the camera are in the container.
Is there a difference in Quicktime if a file is added by drag'n'drop, by "Insert" or "add to movie"?
I can't reproduce the problem (it comes up on a Mac and on Win with Quicktime 7.1.3) and it scares me
Thank you very much, i would appreciate your help.

Could it be a solution that the file is - during editing the video - "Saved As" a self containing movie... But afterwards, when the last file is insertet and when the video is finished just "Saved". Maybe if you save a video through "Save" (and not "Save as"), for new, added files just the references will be saved in a self contained-video.
Your thoughts?

Searching for movie data in file "Untitled.mov"

Ok I have already searched in the forums and none of the solutions have worked. Can anyone help me with this problem?
When I open Final Cut Pro, before the full program opens this error pops up:
Searching for movie data in file "Untitled.mov".
Screenshot - (http://imgs.hnation.org/uploads/714c01ba72.png)
After like 10 seconds this error then pops up:
The movie file "Untitled.mov" cannot be found. Without this file, the movie cannot play properly.
Screenshot - (http://imgs.hnation.org/uploads/8c5564c42f.png)
I have tried pressing the "Search" button and have tried every Untitled.mov file I could find, but none of them worked. If I press "Cancel" then the same thing happens 5 more times until Final Cut Pro actually opens.
Help Please. Thanks!

what if I am unable to get a hold of the footage again to re-import? Is there an alternative way?
There is no alternative. The movie file is missing information. Either you captured footage and it broke it up into smaller segments (-av-0, -av-1, -av-2) and one or more of those files are missing, or you exported a Quicktime REFERENCE movie, and reimported that into FCP...and have since deleted some media that the reference file....references.
Either you have it or you don't. If you don't have it...and cannot reimport it, then you are SOL. The only way to get rid of the message will be to delete the clip in the project that is causing the error.
I have already tried reinstalling 3 times. The same error still pops-up.
This is not an error with the software. You have a clip in the project that is missing something.

Convert MXF files to MOV files, NO LASTCLIP.TXT in FCP 5.1.4

Hello everyone. I am new to the forums. I have a project I have been asked to edit where the files came off of a P2 Card from a Panasonic HVX2000. The problem is, they didn't copy the LASTCLIP.TXT files off of the P2 Card. So I just have the files themselves. Is there a way to convert the files to .MOV files? I do know about the Log & Transfer, but you need the LASTCLIP.TXT for that. Thanks!!

#38-P2 - Missing LASTCLIP.txt file. How to rebuild.
Shane's Stock Answer #38 - When you offloaded the P2 cards, you forgot to get the LASTCLIP.tct file? No worries, not all is lost.
MISSING LASTCLIP.TXT FILE:
http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?t=58755
If you neglected to copy the "lastclip.txt" file all is not lost. Much like the six million dollar man, we can rebuild him.
Lastclip.txt can be generated by any text editor. If you are using a mac then open up textedit.
Create a new txt file. It will have 3 lines to it.
The first line is the name of the last clip that was recorded.
Back to the finder. Open up your CONTENTS folder. In there, open up your VIDEO folder. Organize the folder by Date Last Modified. Find the name of the last file in this folder. If you have 16 clips in the folder is will be 0016ag.mxf or something like that. Four numbers and two letters followed by .mxf.
Take this name and place in the first line of your text file. On the next line of the text file type in "1.0" (don't include the quotes).
The third line is the number of clips in the folder +1. If you have 16 clips then the third line should read "17" (again no quotes).
I'm not 100% sure if the number on the third line is the number of clips left in the folder (after any on-set deletions) or if it is the total number of clips generated during this session with the card. Try both. Remember to add 1 to that number.
Your txt file should like something like this:
0016ab.mxf
1.0
17
That's it. You should be good to go. Put your CONTENTS folders in separate folders with separate LASTCLIP.txt folders and import them as separate P2 cards.
The annoying thing is that all of the various .mxf files in these 6 folders are locked items and they must all be unlocked manually to erase them.
It's much easier to import direct into FCP 5.0.4 or higher. It does so without leaving all of these locked files on your computer.

"Missing files" that are not missing

I am running LR 1.1 on a Windows MCE (effectively, XP) SP2 machine. The
library panel in the library module (which lists "All photographs",
"Quick Collection", etc.) shows "Missing Files 11". However, on
checking those files in that collection:
1 There is no question mark on the thumbnails indicating that LR has
lost track of them.
2 Right clicking on any of the thumbnails and choosing "Go to Folder in
Library" immediately shows the correct photo in the correct folder (all
are from the same folder and are Canon RAW files).
3 Right clicking on the folder name in the folder panel and choosing
"Synchronize Folder..." shows only one missing photo (which LR
persistently claims is damaged and refuses to import) - which is _not_
among the "Missing Files".
In other words, and in brief, LR seems to think some files are missing
although it in fact it knows they are not. (I have checked they are
present on the disk.)
For what it's worth, I usually do not tick "Include Photos from
Subitems" on the Library menu in the Library module - but even when I
did I could not get the problem to go away, so it doesn't appear to be
related to that.
While clearly not a huge problem, I am baffled and feel I have
overlooked something obvious. Can anyone assist, please?

I really like your approach, since no XMP data or deleting and reimporting of files is needed. However in my case it does not work on all the pictures marked as missing in one folder. After copying (moving doesn't work in MacOS, since files can be located no matter in which folder they are situated, so moving them has no effect in Lightroom) and relocating the folder in Lightroom (version 1.4.1 for MacOS), only a few files (5-10) in each folder are removed from the 'missing files' list. Repeating the procedure a number of times eventually clears the list, but when there are 160 files missing in a 4GB folder, this can take a while...
By accident I discovered that there is a way to correct all files at once in one folder when this happens. After moving/copying the files to their new location and starting Lightroom, select the files in the 'missing files' list and export these files. Where or how is not important, neither is the output (sometimes Lightroom will give an error, telling you it could not export the files because they are missing, sometimes there is no error at all and the files are exported normally). What is important however, is that this export somehow makes Lightroom 'aware' of all 'missing' files in a folder and not only the first 5-10, as was the case before.
After the export, continue with the procedure as described by Bruno, so select one of the missing files and click on the question mark to point out what the new location of the files is. In my case all 160 missing files in one folder were removed from the 'missing files' list at once, saving me a lot of time and work :).
So if you also have problems with files not being removed from the 'missing files' list, here is the new procedure (new step proceded by + sign):
- Close the lightroom library.
- Move the picture files to a new directory.
- Open the lightroom library.
- Now all files will show as missing and a question mark will appear
at the right of each thumbnail. The folders will also appear in red.
+ Export all missing files in this folder, so Lightroom is 'aware' of
all missing files and will correct all of them.
- Select a folder and click on the question mark of one of the
thumbnails to map the location of the picture to the directory in
which it was moved.
- Repeat the above step for each folder that appears in red.
Hope this is of help to others with the same problem :).

Delete songs from itunes library, no option to keep file or move to recycle bin

iTunes Version 11.0.1.12
I just finished moving my library to a different drive and all seemed to be fine until I started cleaning out some duplicate songs. When I delete a song from the library, it does not ask if you want to keep the file or move to the recycle bin. Only 1 window comes up asking - Are you sure you want to delete the selected song?.....and there are only 2 choices - Delete Song or Cancel. "Do not ask me again" still shows in the window with the box.
In Preferences under Advanced, the path shows - G:\iTunes\iTunes Media\iTunes Music.
I checked for other references to this but could not locate.
Would certainly appreciate some help - thanks

I have this question too - Help tells me option is there but it's not

I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing".

I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing". Original file is written on iMac (2014) and saved to an USB stick and then transferred till macBook Pro (2009, Yosemite) for editing. Then I shared the files by iCloud but I am not able to open them on iMac again. Niether can I use the USB stick to transfer the edited files back. I'm running Pages '09 4,1 (923) on the macBook and Pges 5.5.2 (2120) on the iMac.
Håkan

Pages 5.5.2 is extremely incompatible with even other Macs let alone the vast majority of PC and MsWord users out there, so not a good idea to leap into the fire with both eyes shut.
After having done that to the first Pages 5 files, Apple has repeatedly done it to even the most minor point updates. Apple can't even anticipate its own erratic changes let alone what everyone else needs doing.

ITunes no longers asks "Do you want to keep the original file or move to trash?" - Can this be fixed?

I'm not sure if this was a recent update in Mavericks, but when I used to delete items from iTunes it would ask something along the lines of:
Do you want to keep the original file or move to trash?
Now I no longer get this, instead iTunes asks:
Are you sure you want to delete the selected song from your iTunes library?
After which, if you choose the option "Delete Song", you get no option to keep the original file, it just straight up deletes if from my library and hard drive. Does anyone know if there is a way around this? For whatever reason, I want to be able to keep the original file on my Mac, without keeping it in my iTunes library.
I've tried resetting dialogue warning, and this hasn't made a difference.
Thanks!

I am running InDesign CS5.5 and trying to open an In Design File but getting an error message. " Cannot open the file "PDavidLCover.indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file me be open in another application."Please help I really need to get this file open.

Since you've shown us the folder contents it's a good bet it isn't in use (no lock file). And it doesn't look like the file is mis-named as there doesn't seem to be anything else there that would be the .indd file (but just in case, open it in TextEdit and paste the first few lines here so we can see what the file header says), so the most likely case is the file is damaged. Is that on a removable device of some sort?
You can try the tool at Repair corrupt InDesign Adobe files on Mac OS X or send me a link to the file by private message and I'll try the recovery tool I have for Windows.

Any ideas?

Hi Frank,
Thanks.
My HD is a "normal" HD, so I guess it's HFS+. (According to Disk Utility it is Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
The NAS is WD MyBook Live Duo. I just plugged into my Time Machine.
I am relocating using Aperture "relocate originals for project" under the File tab.
Ahh, thanks for the answer to question 1.
Yes, I am trying to relocate them, but tried different things to find the problem.
And the problem seems to be that when an image gets an extra attribute (when it's downloaded from the internet, when it is comes from a mail message) then Aperture seems not to be able to move the file.
I.e. Aperture presumeably asks the Finder or kernel to perform this task, and this then fails because of the extra attirbutes that were set.
I now found a way of manually removing the extra attributes, but that is a pain.
Think of this normal workflow:
- someone sends me an email containing images
- I move the images to my Desktop
- I then import the images into Aperture
- I then decide to relocate my images for that project to my NAS
Then is when this problem occurs.
So I just tried to relocate to another place on my HD.
That works fine.
I looked again at the error message.
And it says "could not set attributes com.apple.metadata:kMDItemDownloadedDate on destination file descriptor" .
So, yes, it seems like it has to do with the NAS not supporting setting the extra attributes.
And as long as there are no extra attributes on an image, there is no problem.
(Not completely true, but I have another thread about that)
Thanks Frank, I have to digest this a bit.
Regards
Jan

I want to start a new movie but iMovie is hung looking for an old file and says:"Without this file, the movie cannot play properly."

Hello!
I recently upgraded to Lion. Every time I start up iMovie, it asks if I want to go ahead and generate thumbnails. I say OK, then it alerts me that it cannot file the file IMG_0073.MOV. Then it says "Without this file, the movie cannot play properly." It gives me the option to either cancel or search for the movie.
I don't have the old file it's looking for. I simply want to start a fresh movie with new material but cannot get past this hump. Based on the little research I have done, some people experienced this problem because the files were in aperture at some point, which was the case for me before when I used iMovie. I have since moved forward only with iPhoto but perhaps it's hung on an old file format?
I tried taking another old movie and renamed it IMG_0073.mov to see if I could simply select it, give it what it wants and move on but it won't let me select the file for some reason. I also tried removing iMovie and downloading a fresh version but that didn't work either. My BF tried removing pfiles (I think that's what it's called? but again no luck)
Please help! I must get this assignment done for a class!

Unsupported file type (.mov)

I am using Adobe After Effects CS4 (9...)
I am trying to create Andrew Krammer's ,,crumble" effect (http://www.videocopilot.net/tutorial/procedural_crumble/)
If you skip at 23:44 you will see that he is adding an imported .mov file.
Everytime i try to import a .mov file, i get the following error: After Effects error: Can't import file "NAME.mov": unsupported file type or extension. ( 0::1 )
I think I have what I need: QuickTime 7.7.1 (it's the latest version I found, right from Apple's website)
(I don't know if this really helps:) When i click File>Export> QuickTime is disabled, not selectable. It says: QuickTime 7.4.1 or later required (even though i have 7.7.1)
I do not really want to convert the .mov into anything else because I saw that the .mov file (from Andrew Krammer's video) don't display the background, only the dust (in my case). Other video types DO display the black background. The files I try to import to AE work (they can be opened with QuickTime, no errors)

What is your OS? After Effects requires QuickTime. Is your AE up to date?

Some Finder Sounds Aren't Working (Trash File and Move File)?

Last night I noticed that *some of the finder sounds* aren't working (trashing and moving a file/folder) on my mac mini. The rest of the finder sounds seem unaffected (emptying the trash, removing an icon from the dock). I tried some solutions online with limited success.
Odd things that are happening:
1) After a reboot, the first time I delete a file or move a folder, the *monitor resets itself*. Kinda like when you change the resolution. My TV loses the feed for a sec and quickly reestablishes it. After this happens, no finder sounds for moving and trashing
2) I heard some people were having this same problem because of coreaudiod.plist files (Library/Preferences/Audio. When I copy the com.apple.audio.SystemSettings.plist to the desktop these finder sounds return, but just for this file. See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10465859
3) I noticed these problems after I started using the Kanex Mini DisplayPort Adapter To HDMI 1080p Video w/ Digital Audio. http://kanexlive.com/products/item.aspx?id=3495 But, I tried switching back to the old setup of a basic minidvd to hdmi and a rca y cable and it made no difference.
4) I also completely did a fresh install and everything worked fine until late in the process after I did a reboot (see point 1). Is it a third party software problem? I installed the HippoRemoteVNC that allows me to take control of the computer with the iphone. I also have installed Plex, Boxee, XBMC, Perian codecs, Hulu desktop, Quicktime 7, and Transmission.
System Specs:
Computer: Mac Mini (Late 2009) - 2.26Ghz, 2GB RAM, 10.6.1
Monitor: Panasonic TH-42PZ700U 42-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV
Video/Audio Connection: Kanex Mini DisplayPort Adapter To HDMI 1080p Video w/ Digital Audio
Any thoughts? Thanks!!

Go to your /Applications/Utilities folder and run the Audio MIDI Setup application.
Confirm settings there match your expectations.

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.
